'XBOX ONE' ANNOUNCED!

[Ethevion]

So let's recap...

Nintendo is low nowadays with the Wii U games offer.

Sony showed some games... well it was quite a lot of games actually. But they aren't showing the console (Deja Vu... Nintendo did the same thing with the Wii U and the Wii, controller first, console second)

Microsoft.... showed a.... that's not a console microsoft, look at it, its freaking HUGE... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? MAN TEH HARPPPOOOONS! showed a few games... yes FEW and most of them were CG, games are installed into the HDD and fixed to ONE xbox account, to get it to another xbox account you gotta pay extra... online requirement depends on the developer, if he wants it or not.


Man... this next generation isn't going very well... what the hell is happening? are console going to DIE?

So PC master race?

Thank you Microsoft . . .

. . . for taking the SystemDoom spotlight away from WiiU.

I think we are a long way off from that at the moment. If we ever get there :3

I had the good fortune to have just read the wired article. In it they posit that a gaming-only device will struggle and people have now been conditioned to expect more because of the iphone, What may I ask is wrong with this guy?

My reasoning as to why this fellow is incorrect runs as follows
It is because smart phones are a social device; with them you go on facebook, you talk to people and they are devices that people use to communicate (all of which is probably obvious but bears repeated never the less). Not so long ago people were not rocking up with phones like that at school.

Presently it seems a considerable number of people have such phones across all demographics. They are social communication devices and that would be why the iphone and other smartphones do so well. Everybody in my family has a facebook account, everybody they know has a facebook account. DAMN.

Gaming on a smart phone just happens to be a convenience... is anybody really going to say "oooh I gotta buy the next iphone because of games". That's what people buy a PS4 for.

People still want GAMING ONLY console. The 3ds has struggled because of a lack of games and its useless 3d gimmick. Wii u has struggled because Nintendo's PR have staff are horrible and they don't have enough good games.


This poor wired news writer trying to make the case for xbox one.... how very laughable


-----

just red the wired article. sayin a gaming-only device struggle and people may want more cuz of the iphone, wat is wrong this guy?

its becuz smart phones are a social device, u go on facebook, u talk to people, its a thing ppl get to communicate DUH. several years ago ppl weren't rockin with phones like dat at school.

now loaads of ppl have phones now and im talking about teenagers. its a social communication device thats y iphone and other smartphones do GOOD. every1 in my family has a facebook, every1 they know has a facebook account. DAMN.

gaming on a smart phone just happens to be a convenience...is any1 really gonna say oooh i gotta buy the next iphone becuz of games. rofl. thats what ppl buy a PS4 for. DUH.

people still want GAMING ONly console. 3ds has struggled cuz of not enough games and its useless 3d gimmick. wii u has struggled cuz nintendo's pr staff is horrible and they dont have enough g00d games.

second confirm. Just in case you still don't believe me...

the system is not always on line, ok
but,
you may need to go online to install your games
so the game can be linked to you account

so
every game will have a "cd-key" type thing the is only good for one account
and you will need to buy a new key to install the game on a 2nd account


so you will need online with the system in some way it looks like

15 exclusives this year, 8 of which are new franchises.

All Kinect games c;

 

[GBA rocks]

I am SO excited about

- the Halo TV Series
- US centric partnerships, deals, services, etc.
- the fact that unlike that pesky Sony they showed the actual BLACK BOX, it makes all the difference!!!
- being able to see the sweat on the forehead of players in sports games or in call of duty. That's what gaming needs and will always need, ultra-realistic graphic, screw finely tuned gameplay mechanics like in those useless nintendo kiddie games.
- did I say THE HALO TV SERIES

NEEEWWWWW. So 15-8 = 7 games left to see.
Not to mention the fact those 7 are also EXCLUSIVE. Not cross platform.
The other EA games are also cross platform, therefore these 15 EXCLUSIVES have yet to even be shown -.-

second confirm. Just in case you still don't believe me...

Seriously?

Edit: Wait... Can you uninstall?

Microsoft has completely forgotten the fact that one day the Xbox One will be as old as the NES is today.. And that you wont be able to buy the games new making the console MASSIVE paper weight, Good job M$

While that's a long time and people would probably emulate it about that time, it's still bothersome.

Also, that would make buying use pointless. You still have to pay the fee.

 

[pwsincd]

For me so far, we got new games consoles with varying gimmicks ..

WiiU - gamepad
PS4 - Backwards compatability over cloud
XB1 - Minority report type set top box

God i love my wiiu gamepad
closely followed by my ps4
microsoft: most the people that buy your games console well they got TV's and erm subscriptions to services and set top boxes. I can't see it pulling a mass audience as a major selling point.

Real reasons why it's called Xbox One:

• It has only one useful feature

• It is one ugly looking brick

• It's going to cost one thousand dollars

• It is one big fuckup

no he said 15 games in first year of launch

and that was before the EA part

so 15 - EA 4 games - COD Ghosts = 10 games left 4 of which will be exclusive

 

[war2thegrave]

Damn straight!
Why not have the next-gen right now!

Not a great shot but one we can work with

On the right we have the controller. No dimensions as yet but fits in a hand and did not look too different to current ones. Current is about 150mm at the longest part but call it 10% more if you want and 165mm

104 pixels on that image is 165mm --> one pixel is just shy of 1.6mm
Console length is 227 pixels or about 360mm
Height is 57 pixels or 90mm
I lack a great depth shot and perspective calculations annoy me by by eyeball it is hardly a radically different aspect ratio.
My original 360 is about 300mm by 80mm (can't be bothered to get the Vernier out or put the case back together) and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Console-Premium-Version/dp/B0007SV734 says 325mm (w) x 98mm (h) x 274mm (d) for the original PS3.


Back on topic if indeed it does mess up used sales they just blew any goodwill they had.
